Do you guys believe in ghosts?? Ive been having these wackiest thoughts in ma head. You know here in India, every household/family has a ghost-story to tell. And since ma Granny is visiting us, it was as always an exciting subject to talk about. Im not sure if I believe in these things myself, but I definately am a Chiken$*¥#! I mean even as 'almost' a 23 year old(god Im getting old) I cant stay in a dark room alone! Well, anyway she was telling us about many of those horror myths/stories, also about how our Grandfather once 'according to her' was possesed by a spirit as he disrespected it by accidently stepping on its grave. Well anyway, all these thoughts reminded me that how despite having a weak belief, Im still scared of these things alot, and then I thought how I probably wouldnt be now, coz I know somebody who just died and also belongs to that other world. Ofcoarse Im sounding super-silly right now, but it made me feel good. Being a part of a family of hardcore believers, though my beliefs not that strong, I still felt that she is still there, and she would protect me...I know its very wierd thought, but it REALLY made me feel good!! :)

You know its weird Karen, and Eric (Truth) will confirm it because we were together, we went to NY on Sunday after Whitney's service on Saturday and we were walking back and forth across the streets and all of a sudden it hit me we just walked clear across a NY Street and there were no cars coming nothing... we both looked at each other like wow and all we could think was Whit is watching over us.

Then the night before we went to her school and we walked from the car to the front just talking and all of a sudden we turn around and there is a deer RIGHT THERE...like could have charged and killed us but it was just standing there looking at us we didn't know what to do. We stopped we moved to the side it stared at us and just kept moving it didn't run or anything.

I wasn't going to get into it because I didn't want to sound crazy but I have NEVER in my entire life crossed a street in NYC once let alone like twice or three times w/o there being ANY cars. Like WTF? All I could think was That's Whitney & then the whole deer situation like Karan it was RIGHT there in front of us. It could've charged right at us and KILLED us but it just stood there, looking at us & when we backed away, it just walked across the street, no running, no jumping, just simply walked. Again, I said, Alright Whitney, she's got our back.

YESS!!! If It weren't for Karen I think that would have stayed between us because I was like yeah ok not telling that story. Thank the Lord you were with me so we could be each others witness weirdest things EVER!! I have never been that close to a deer in my entire LIFE! and we walked not even a foot past it and it never moved, ran, charged NOTHING just looked right at us almost as if it were staring us down.

RIGHT! & it didn't seem to be afraid or even bothered by us, almost like it was calm & checking us out LOL. I am going to just say like the Clark Sisters sang "I've Got An Angel With Me" & I do believe my angels name is Whitney.

^^Wow! I know that feeling! :)
The night of the day I had heard the news I was so devastated and hopeless, I went to the terrece of ma house, got down on ma knees, wept, looked up at the sky and talked to Whitney. Its strange bcoz I was almost an atheist as a teenager...and even as a young adult...
but that feeling that she was watching over me gave me so much peace. Thats why I love believing that there is God. Life is so much easier that way... :)

you know Karan, I try not to preach to people because that's never been my style & I am friends with friends of all walks of life but I have to say, that believing in God does make everything seem a little bit easier you know? For me personally, I love the Lord & I love the fact that Whitney was never ashamed to talk about her faith. Not many stars of her magnitude still openly talk about him the way she did.

^^I agree! And Im glad she had such a strong belief in god, because not only as she said, it got her through her worst times, when I think about that very very 'final moment' in her life, if she had the slight consciousness to think that she was going, she would still have been at peace and unworried because of her belief. And that can give anybody who loved Whitney some peace. The woman had a FULL life, and even though she's gone too soon, I know for sure, she must have gone peacefully...because she knew in her mind where she was going...

I was wondering if any of you who stay near the place where Whitney is laid to rest and if it is open to the public, could offer flowers to her grave on my behalf. It will bring immense peace to me and I would be very greatful!!

I wouldn't go yet.I heard the area was becomming a circus and they closed the site down to anyone who didn't have a family member buried there. I doubt it will be that way forever. I suggest giving it some time to let the chaos and "excitement" of it all die down before going. I wanna go and lay some flowers but I'll wait until after they place the headstone and the novelty wears off. Maybe late Spring, early summer.

I would love to go there with you because it broke my heart i wasn't with you that day.

It's like stars who claim to believe something seem to forget once they "make it" but Whitney NEVER forget where & who she came from & who she belonged to. That gives me unspeakable peace.

ALRIGHT NOW!!!! Now that is what I'm talking about. If she did indeed know she was going, then I know for sure that in HER mind she knew WHERE she was going. That right there is some good talking Karan!
